Quick Answer
To build a festive Nanoblock Christmas Tree, start by sorting the 200 pieces by color, then follow the layered assembly from base to tip, pressing each brick firmly to avoid loose joints.
Why the Nanoblock Christmas Tree Makes a Great Desktop Display
The Bandai Nanoblock Christmas Tree stands about 3.3 inches tall, making it an ideal size for a desk, shelf, or mantelpiece. Its 200-piece count offers a satisfying build without taking up too much time, and the finished tree adds a festive touch to any room.
Because the tree is made of PVC and uses tiny bricks, the main challenge is ensuring each piece clicks together securely. Loose connections can cause the tree to wobble or lose its shape, so careful alignment is key.
Step-by-Step Assembly Guide
- Sort the pieces: Empty the bag and group pieces by color and shape. This speeds up the build and helps you spot missing or extra bricks early. Check that you have all 200 pieces before starting; missing pieces are easier to identify now than mid-build.
- Build the base layer: Lay the first row of bricks on a flat surface, making sure they align with the pattern in the instructions. Press each brick down firmly but evenly to create a stable foundation. A crooked base will cause the entire tree to lean, so double-check alignment before moving up.
- Stack the trunk and lower branches: Follow the manual to add the trunk and the widest branch layer. Use your fingertip to press each brick until you hear a click, and avoid twisting bricks into place. Twisting can stress the bricks and cause cracks, especially on thin branch pieces.
- Work upward, tapering the tree: Continue adding layers, following the decreasing width as you go. Check the instruction diagram after every two layers to ensure the tree tapers correctly. If a layer looks off, remove the last two layers and re-seat them rather than forcing a fit.
- Finish with the top ornament: Attach the final top piece (often a star or tip) gently, pressing straight down. Avoid excessive force, as the top is delicate. Once complete, gently wiggle the tree to test stability; if it wobbles, reinforce the base by pressing down on the bottom layer.
